Let's Do an About Face

I've touched a little on doing business on the Internet but in the days that I was sitting on a cruise ship I decided that to have a really successful Blog you have to have a passion about what you are writing about.  Well, I've decided to do an about face!  

While Antiques are my passion during the day, crafting is my passion during the night and since I've been crafting longer than selling on the Internet with antiques, that is what I am going to concentrate on.  The history of crafts, what I do, how I came to do it, projects and more.  I will take you through the crafts of the sixties right up to today.  I will raid PINTEREST for photos and display ideas from other people.  I will raid my closet for old stock that I have kept for many a year and I will create new items/projects every single day.  

There are ladies I admire in the crafting world - Wendy Addison is one, a fellow Californian.  Another is Stacey French.  I could rattle off names right now but I will save them for future blogs - these ladies (and gents) inspire me enormously!  At the same time I write on my blog, I will be listing the items on either ETSY (RobinsNestMidwest) or my new site, Michael's Maker Place - that is, if I get all my listings approved!

Crafts have changed during the years and while there are people who have written histories on one particular craft, no one really talks about everything and that is what I will try to do.  So if you didn't think I was writing before just watch me write (and craft) now!

And please, if you are reading this, please drop me a note so that I know that SOMEONE out there is reading my musings.  

Till next time......
